Technical Abstract

A method includes receiving electronic data, extracting a first identifier from the electronic data, extracting first attributes from the electronic data, and searching a database for identifiers that match the first identifier to determine a number of matching identifiers. The method also includes determining that the number of matching identifiers exceeds a first threshold and searching the database for attributes associated with each of the matching identifiers to determine a subset of matching attributes. The method further includes calculating a specificity for the subset of matching attributes, determining that the specificity of the subset of matching attributes is less than or equal to a second threshold, and creating a filter based at least in part on the determination that the specificity of the subset of matching attributes is less than or equal to the second threshold.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

5

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a probability generator operable to calculate a threat probability for the first attributes, wherein creating the filter is further based on the threat probability.

12

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising calculating a threat probability for the first attributes, wherein creating the filter is further based on the threat probability.

19

19. The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions further cause the processing circuitry to calculate a threat probability for the first attributes, wherein creating the filter is further based on the threat probability.
